Sobriety, recovery, you know, wellness, all that, and I don't mean to diminish this at all, but it's kind of been uncool, you know, I mean the first couple of times I was in treatment, everybody in there was uncool, you know, and I didn't belong there, and that was defensive and, you know, pretty hostile about it. It's cool to get clean and sober, it's cool to get educated. Try to build your capacity of what you have and be valuable.
